tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid wider

2020-09-18T16:42:11Z

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to 4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default becomes 131072 which needs six digits. This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the initial upper limit. Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like on big iron with 98+ CPUs). Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

tracing: Save one trace_event->type by using __TRACE_LAST_TYPE

2020-07-09T22:14:58Z

Static defined trace_event->type stops at (__TRACE_LAST_TYPE - 1) and dynamic trace_event->type starts from (__TRACE_LAST_TYPE + 1). To save one trace_event->type index, let's use __TRACE_LAST_TYPE.

tracing: Simplify defining of the next event id

2020-07-09T22:00:47Z

The value to be used and compared in trace_search_list() is "last + 1". Let's just define next to be "last + 1" instead of doing the addition each time.

mmap locking API: use coccinelle to convert mmap_sem rwsem call sites

2020-06-09T16:39:14Z

This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap locking API instead.

tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry

2020-03-19T21:48:36Z

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating, it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable. There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single copy, this use case will no longer be supported. Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

tracing: Have hwlat ts be first instance and record count of instances

2020-03-03T22:33:43Z

The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it actually triggered. Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer. As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

tracing: Use seq_buf_hex_dump() to dump buffers

2019-11-14T18:15:12Z

Without this, buffers can be printed with __print_array macro that has no formatting options and can be hard to read. The other way is to mimic formatting capability with multiple calls of trace event with one call per row which gives performance impact and different timestamp in each row.

Hex dump as many as 16 bytes at once in trace_print_hex_seq() instead of byte-by-byte approach. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190806151543.86061-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Eiichi Tsukata found a small bug from the fixup of the stack code Removing ULONG_MAX as the marker for the user stack trace end, made the tracing code not know where the end is. The end is now marked with a zero (NULL) pointer. Eiichi fixed this in the tracing code" * tag 'trace-v5.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix user stack trace "??" output
